Does the player not read one dvd disk, or any dvd disk you put in it? some older players cannot play burned (on a computer) disks and only play commercially pressed disks.
if this is a non commercial dvd -- especially one burned by a stand-alone player/recorder -- it may not have been properly finalized. you should be able to do that from the original device that burned it or from a computer with the proper software. i just finalized a disc which had been left with an open session using Nero, but i think free solutions like <a rel='nofollow' href="">CDBurnerXP</a> and possibly <a rel='nofollow' href="">Star Office</a> may be able to help, as well. in Nero, i had to go to 'disc info' then the option was available to 'Finalize VR Disc'. After that it played as it was intendd on most DVD players and computers.

dvd player keeps saying no disc when I try to play a dvd.what can i do? worked fine until about 3 months ago. started to say no disc when disc inserted but after opening and closing 3 to 6 times it would read.now it just wont read. any ideas?

After variety of different tests and findings I have resolved this issue. It appears that the DVD burner was not in good working order and the DVD player was not at fault. Thanks you to all who answered and responded to my problem. Many thanks.

Well if it happens to every disc, then you know its the discs that are the problem. It should be the DVD player. Check if you plugged in the yellow, white, and red plugs accordingly. And also try blowing inside the DVD player, to blow away any dust that might be fogging the disc from beiing read.

Hello, I'm here try and help your problem, first older DVD players only read certain disc formats, If you have your owners manuel to your DVD player it will tell you what types of discs the DVD player will play. There are seneral types of burnable disc's DVD -, DVD +, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, please looking in the owners manual for the types of discs that the player will read, also in the same secton it will tell the types of formats that it will read DVD Video, DVD ROM, and there is a few others, Next is when you burn DVD's the type of burner you have makes a difference. You will need to find out what format your DVD burn, burns to disc, some of the newer DVD players
read alot of the formats. I would start by finding out what your DVD burns first, then I would suggest buying a DVD player that will read that format. If you have anyother questions please feel free to post them, Thank You and have a great day.
